Your Personal Information May Be Spread Across More Places Than You Think
Your name, address, phone number, email address, old job profile, company details or previous locations can appear across data broker websites, people-search sites, marketing databases, directory listings and scraped online records.
Individually, each result may seem small. Together, they can create a detailed picture of your life, making it easier for strangers, scammers, recruiters, marketers or unwanted contacts to find and use your personal information.
What We Help Remove
Personal data can appear across many different databases, directories and people-search websites. EraseMe helps identify where your information is exposed and requests removal at the source.
Data Broker Profiles
We help remove personal records from data broker websites and online databases that collect, list or share your details.
People-Search Listings
We target people-search websites that display names, addresses, contact details, family links or location history.
Public Directory Records
We review public directories, online listings and databases where your personal information may be visible.
Old Job-Seeking Profiles
We help remove old CVs, candidate profiles and job-seeking information from recruitment and employment-related websites.
Exposed Addresses
We prioritise records showing your current address, previous addresses or location history where removal is possible.
Phone Numbers & Emails
We help remove exposed phone numbers, email addresses and contact details from websites and databases.
Marketing Database Records
We target marketing lists, lead databases and commercial records that may be using or sharing your personal details.
Scraped Online Information
We help identify and request removal of personal information copied from websites, profiles, directories or public sources.

Data Broker Removal Is Different from Google Removal
Removing a search result from Google can reduce visibility, but it does not always remove the original record from the website that published it.
This service focuses on removing or suppressing personal information at the source, such as data broker profiles, people-search listings, directories, old job profiles and online databases.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Data Removal Service FAQs
How does your pricing work?
Pricing depends on how many data broker websites, people-search platforms, URLs or online records you want us to target. Our packages specify how many sources, records or URLs we will tackle. Some clients want us to focus on the largest and most visible sources first, while others prefer a wider removal sweep across as many relevant sources as possible.
How many data brokers could have my information?
It varies from person to person, but personal information can appear across dozens of sources, including data brokers, people-search websites, public directories, marketing databases, old profiles and scraped online records. In many UK cases, a proper review may involve checking 50 or more potential sources depending on the person’s online footprint.
Can you remove my information from job sites or recruitment databases?
Yes, where possible. We can help review old CVs, candidate profiles, job-seeking accounts, recruitment listings and employment-related websites that may still display or process your personal information. The route depends on the website, the type of data visible and whether you still have access to the account.
Is this the same as removing information from Google?
No. Google removal usually means reducing visibility in search results. This data removal service focuses on removing or suppressing information at the source, such as the website, directory, database or people-search listing that published it. If something also appears in Google, we can review whether search result removal may also be needed.
How long does personal data removal take?
Some websites respond quickly, while others take longer or require follow-up. Many privacy and data protection requests can take around 30 days for a response, but complex cases may take longer if multiple websites, databases or controllers are involved.
Can my information come back after it has been removed?
Yes, it can happen. Some websites refresh their data from other sources, and copied records can reappear elsewhere. That is why ongoing monitoring can be useful, especially if your address, phone number, email address or old profiles have already been spread across several websites.
Can you remove my phone number, email address or home address?
In many cases, yes. Our data removal service can target websites and databases that expose phone numbers, email addresses, current addresses, previous addresses or other contact details. Whether removal is possible depends on where the data is hosted, how it was obtained and what legal or platform route applies.
Is this covered by UK GDPR?
Depending on the circumstances, individuals may have rights under UK data protection law to request access, erasure, objection or restriction of certain uses of their personal information. You can read more about your data protection rights from the Information Commissioner’s Office.
